This poem is for my son and i hope when he gets older that somehow, somewhere he'l get to read this.
He's been the reason i move on, he's my strength.
This is dedicated to every single mum in the house (if there are any!) who have been discriminated, rejected and hurt.
Look your baby in the eyes and find the strength to move on.
you are gomer, the beloved!


[b]before you came
life was bleak, opaque
it seemed like i couldn't move on anymore
i wanted to die
but then i'l touch that big round pouch and i'l get the strength to carry on
at least for one more day.
the next day
memories, bad memories come tearing me apart
and i really, really want to give up
but then you'll kick just at that moment
to remind me that you're with me always.
i couldnt wait for you to come
i was so so anxious to see you.

years have passed now
but i remember that day like it was yesterday
it was so painful
i almost gave up
but i so wanted to see you
i wanted to love you
i wanted to forget the pain, the regrets, the betrayal, the heartaches
i knew you were going to be my savior.
with these thoughts,
i pushed with determination as i screamed out in pain
and you came out
i looked at you and i laughed and i cried and i laughed
i couldnt stop
oh God- it was you!
you were here at last
and you were so beautiful.
our first night together, i stayed and watched you sleep
i couldn't believe that you came out of me
that you were all mine.

from that day,
you gave my life a new meaning
i had a reason-
to live
to laugh
to dance
to live again.
you are my laughter and my joy
my today and my tomorrow
my love and my life
you are my Son, my baby boy!

now, after so many years
when you look at me and smile,
these lyrics of this song comes to my head-

thought I’d seen everything there was to see in this world
Now I’m not so sure I’ve really seen anything at all
I thought life could show me no surprises
And then you came and showed me I was wrong
I thought I’d been everywhere
I’ve climbed a mountain so high,
sailed the sea,
crossed the sky
And still I was nowhere at all,
until that day, you came to my senses
And your smile,
it made sense out of it all
I have seen the bluest skies,
rainbows that would make you cry
I have seen miracles that moved my soul,
days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars
shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world,
but I’ve never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours

thank you for choosing me to come into my life
i love you[/b]

@tianshie, he is! he's the finest boy on this planet earth!
dont mind me, i over trip for the boy.

I think it is fantastic to cherish ones treasure. Our children are our treasure and sort of the earth. I like this poem. But I will like as well to look at it from another angle. This is a poem I wrote three years ago based on my experience and i think it fits into this tread. Enjoy it.

Free Love


Scientist is my lovely little lass,
In velocity and acceleration she believes
And mixed molecules of chemical with base.

Her presence packs me off my feet,
Her eloquence perfects the paragon I paint;
In her heart tenderness I faint!

Awakened by fragrances perceived through her pass;
Let go not her affection is ranting;
Her emotion, ejaculated me off my pant!

Love the thread of emotion
That gathers passion and action,
And abort first sight portion,

Guide me through passion of mission;
Strengthen my motion with power of expression
Coded in action of explanation.

Free love is distinct from all love,
But love I have is hate to love;
Misinterpretation cause commotion of emotion.

Expression pair action calm aggression
When explanation explains main mission
Moved by motion of firm affection.

When my eyes pierce the sky,
I skipped to see but your name
Boldly blinking like stars in the shy.

The only masterpiece I know as Angel,
My heart is heavy and fragile
While your dazzling figure kept calling for agile.

I am whole here for attention
To review my main mission
And break silence of my motion.

I feel you deep down my heart,
But your emotion never convey my motion,
Friendship, in the depth of emotion its my mission!
